Ascertain the truth, the compare it to what the liar is saying. In lieu of that, torture works probably works pretty well too. :)

Alas, anybody will lie to stop you doing the ginger beer trick. The easiest way to spot a liar, is to look out for a type of man [it is always a man] called a 'salesman'. Immediate termination with prejudice is the advisable, and only, course of action.

Jake: You were outside, I was inside. You were supposed to keep in touch with the band. I kept asking you if we were gonna play again. Elwood: What was I gonna do? Take away your only hope? Take away the very thing that kept you going in there? I took the liberty of bullshitting you. Jake: You lied to me. Elwood: Wasn't lies, it was just... bullshit. ...from the Blues Brothers[^]

If they are a politician, there is a fairly good tip to tell if they are lying. Is their mouth open? Yes - they are lying. No - they have just finished lying.

The problem is that that this is statistics - liars are more likely to. That's almost (not quite) like noticing that terrorists are brown eyed.

What a load of crap - I stopped reading after they claimed everyone lies about 10 times a day and then defined a lie as denial of culpability. No one screws up about 10 times a day and has to deny it, not and lives past the age of 5. Now bullshits 10 times a day I can understand, especially if there is any time spent in the pub!
